LAPD: More than 700 tips on fugitive Christopher Dorner, department ready to mobilize at any time

Los Angeles police have now received more than 700 tips from the public in the search for Christopher Dorner, officials said at an afternoon press conference at LAPD headquarters.

Department spokesman Lt. Andrew Neiman also acknowledged there may be times when local residents see a slower response to non-emergency calls because of the resources deployed in searching for Dorner and protecting the 50 people named in his manifesto as potential targets. He said when the department goes on tactical alert, it stops handling routine reports.

So for example, he said, if a home is burglarized but the residents are not in immediate danger, they should not expect squad cars to come immediately rushing over.

The department is not on tactical alert at the moment.

But they are deploying officers so they are ready to mobilize at a moment's notice at a credible sighting of Dorner, he said.
